Information
At Central Contracts we aim to provide our customers with as much assistance as possible when they are looking at information that relates to the purchase of their new vehicle.

Breakdown Cover
Breakdown Cover offers fantastic peace of mind. However impressive the quality of the vehicle may be, breaking down is always a possibility.
The breakdown product we offer to our customers is delivered by major service providers throughout the UK. This offers a number of options:
- Roadside Assistance - this is the minimum level of cover and provides 24-7 roadside assistance throughout the UK. If it cannot be fixed on the spot it will be taken to the nearest garage.
- Home Start - this policy gives the customer all the benefits of Roadside Assistance at the vehicle's home address.
- Onward Travel - provides a replacement vehicle with driver for up to 17 passengers when the vehicle is covered by Minibus Rescue and a prompt local repair cannot be arranged.
In certain cases for an additional payment, the following facility can also be bolted onto the Breakdown Cover product:
- Relay - adding this option to the breakdown policy ensures that the driver can be transported home or to their UK destination of choice if the AA is unable either to fix the vehicle at the roadside or arrange a prompt local repair.
- Relay Plus - in addition to the benefits available under Relay, drivers who take out a Relay Plus option, are able to choose from a range of alternative travel options, such as a replacement car for up to 48 hours, public transport costs or an overnight stay.
Relief Vehicles
Replacement cars and light commercial vehicles can be made available to customers who choose to take out a Relief Vehicle option alongside their monthly maintenance contract. Their original vehicle may be unavailable for any number of unforeseen reasons: e.g. accident, servicing, mechanical problems, or undergoing repairs. If your vehicle has to be taken off the road for any reason, it's wise to have a policy in place to replace it.
Key customer benefits:
- 24 hour 'No Quibble' replacement car policy
- Dependent on the Relief Vehicle package taken out, the customer's requirement can, in most cases, be met within two hours. This depends on the make and model of the vehicle and how readily replacements are available
- Dedicated team of reservation agents to ensure prompt service.
